Abstract

This paper first adopts a coupling coordination model to assess the connectivity level of transportation infrastructure (TI) between China and Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) countries. Subsequently, the two-stage instrumental variable regression model is constructed to validate the impact of TI connectivity on the trade-embodied carbon emissions (TECs) transfer. This study reveals that the inter-connectivity of TI plays a certain promoting role in reducing TECs transfer, thereby contributing to overall emissions reduction and fostering the development of a sustainable BRI. Additionally, enhancements in traffic carbon efficiency, imports of goods and services, urbanization levels, and the quality of highway infrastructure all serve to facilitate the decline of TECs. Conversely, increases in per capita GDP exhibit a negative correlation with TECs.
